DisasterCenter.com
developed the following table to rank the rates of
crime in
South Dakota over time in relation to the rates of crime of other
States . This new
way to examine fluctuations in the crime rate reveals patterns that are
important for
law enforcement executives, students of criminal justice, researchers,
members of the media, and the public at large seeking information on
crime in the nation..

The crime
"Index" is
made up of the total number of violent and
property crimes. Since most crime is
property related the crime index gives more weight to property
crime.
